The Navy made Pax River history Sundayafter it conducted the naval air station's initialflight of the X-47B Unmanned Combat AirSystem Demonstrator, called UCAS-D.

At 11 a.m., the tailless, unmanned aircraftlaunched from NAS Patuxent River and flewfor a planned 35 minutes.The aircraft reachedan altitude of 7,500 feet and an air speed of180 knots during its flight over the Chesa-peake Bay before successfully landing back atPax River.

"This milestone event is the first of manyflights at Pax River to demonstrate X-47B'scompatibility with aircraft carrier flight proce-dures and launch/recovery equipment," saidMatt Funk, UCAS lead test engineer. "Theunique airspace and ship equipment at PaxRiverallowustoconductthetestingherebeforewe land aboard the aircraft carrier next year."

The X-47B traveled from Edwards AirForce Base, Calif., to Pax River in June to enterits next phase of testing. UCAS-D team mem-bers will utilize the specialized testing capa-bilities and facilities available at Pax River inthe coming months to validate the X-47B'sability to perform in an aircraft carrier envi-ronment.

One of the testing facilities at Pax River is asimulated aircraft carrier environment, whichwill allow team members to ensure the air-

craft is ready to operate in testing at sea. Land-based testing will establish X-47B has the abil-ity to conduct precision approaches and toperform arrested landings and catapult

launches prior to actual aircraft carrier oper-ations.

"The X-47B's flight today is another im-portant step closer to the Navy's vision of op-

erating tailless, autonomous, unmanned sys-tems from aircraft carriers," said Capt. JaimeEngdahl, Navy UCAS program manager.

Hunger is not limited to certain re-gions or neighborhoods. It's every-where. Federal government agencies,including the Department of Defense,are joining hands and stepping up tothe fight with the Feds Feed Familiescampaign.

In its fourth year, the Feds FeedFamilies campaign runs during thesummer and is aimed at encouragingfederal employees to help combathunger by donating nonperishableitems for distribution to food banks intheir communities.

The Department of Defense partic-ipated in the campaign for the firsttime last year and helped surpass thenational goal of collecting two millionpounds of food. By the end of thethree-month campaign, more than 5.7

million pounds of nonperishable fooditems had been donated. Out of that,DoD collected almost half, 2 millionpounds.

This year, two base representatives,Air-Traffic Controller 1st Class MeganDonnell and Chief Naval Aircrewman(Tactical Helicopter) Spencer Wait,will lead the effort here.

Both Donnell and Wait said theyare excited to be able to head the localdrive because of the importance ofgiving back to the community.

"Everybody has a few extra cannedgoodsintheirpantrytodonate,"Waitsaid.

And with the help of volunteers,items will be delivered to the localfood banks weekly.

"There are numerous food banks intown, so the goods will stay here in thelocal community," Wait said.

Additional collection points in-clude buildings 103, 109, 111, 304, 409,446, 447, 449, 451, 468, 505, 588, 611,1581, 2199, 2272 and 2294, the Bache-lor Enlisted Quarters quad, and thecommissary.

Donnell said base personnel inter-ested in adding collection points totheir work centers should contact her.

The Defense Commissary Agencyis also helping with the campaign for

a second year. Pax River commissaryshoppers might have noticed prepack-aged shopping bags near the registers.These bags are available for purchaseand can be left at the donation boxnear the store's exits.

The bags are grouped by 11 differ-ent meal ideas, such as spaghetti din-ners, pizza fixings, tuna helper andChinese and Mexican dinners, toname a few.

"I thought the customers wouldappreciate having a themed choice inwhat they could donate," said com-missary store director Debbie House."This allows the customer to knowthat they have provided a meal to a de-serving person, and not just one ortwo cans of product."

The bags are labeled with theircontents and the total dollar amount.Costs range from $3.50 to $7.

According to the FFF website, the 12most wanted items include:

1. Canned fruits2. Canned vegetables3. Multigrain cereal4. Grains5. Canned proteins6. Soups

A new job was just what Frank Di-George needed.

For 12 months, DiGeorge traveledfrom Patuxent River more than 50miles to the Pentagon in Arlington, Va.,where he worked with the deputy as-sistant secretary of the Navy as part ofa job rotational assignment.

"It was the best experience I've everhad," he said, "and tested my abilitiesto perform. I was humbled by the expe-rience."

DiGeorge is slated to graduate fromNAVAIR's Leadership DevelopmentProgram, or NLDP, in October. Thecommand's flagship leadership pro-gram is designed for high performingNAVAIR employees with demonstratedleadership potential, such as DiGe-orge. The program, established in2005, serves to develop leadership,management and productivity im-provement skills and provide mid- tosenior-grade employees a systematicand logical approach to clarify theircareer goals.

"NLDP incorporates developmentalrotational assignments as a key pro-

gram requirement, because they areinstrumental in expanding our futureleaders' breadth of experience andcorporate knowledge," said StephaniePeppler, program manager for NAVAIRleadership development programs."These experiences are key tenants toleadership development."

Peppler cited several benefits to jobrotations, including:

• Knowledge transfer and hands-onexperience between and within com-petencies.

• A method to fill critical and emer-gent skills gaps.

• A more agile workforce, ready forchallenging opportunities.

• Managerial, executive and leader-ship experience.

"Rotational assignments are a keydevelopmental activity aligned to thecommander's intent of creating along-range workforce plan," said KimTennyson, program manager for theDevelopmental Assignment Registry.

The registry is an online nationalinteractive database that allows De-partment of Navy civil service employ-ees to post their resumes and searchand apply for rotational assignments.

DiGeorge said he applied to NLDPto learn more about NAVAIR's deci-

sion-making process at a higher level."Since day one, it's been a learning

experience, and that's exactly what Iwanted," he said. "I didn't want to getinto the program and just go throughthe motions. If you apply yourself, youcan get a lot out of it."

Now the deputy Integrated ProductTeam lead for Unmanned CarrierLaunched Airborne Surveillance andStrike, or UCLASS, DiGeorge helpsmanage the integration of UCLASS onthe aircraft carrier. UCLASS is an air-

craft carrier-based aircraft system pro-viding persistent intelligence, surveil-lance and reconnaissance, and strikecapabilities that will enhance an air-craft carrier's versatility.

DiGeorge's time at the Pentagonimproved his time management, writ-ing, presentation and note-takingskills, he said, as he helped the Pro-gram Executive Officer for UnmannedAviation and Strike Weapons answerdata calls for congressional and senatebriefs and served as a representativeon an unmanned aerial systems taskforce.

"If you want to better yourself pro-fessionally, [a job rotation] is the onlyway to do it," he said.

He also passed his newfound knowl-edge of the ASN Office to the 2010group of NLDP participants during theWashington Arena Seminar class,where he gave them a private, behind-the-scenes Pentagon tour. This semi-nar provides a practical introduction tothe interactions between NAVAIR, theDoN and DoD, with briefings by top of-ficials.

DiGeorge advises his co-workersand fellow NLDP participants to takecharge of their own careers.

"You are responsible for your ca-reer," he said. "Take responsibility forwhere you want to be and how youwant to get there."

The Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division,called NAWCAD, was awarded a Chief of Naval Opera-tions commendation for its contributions to Fleet com-bat readiness and objectives.

Vice Adm. David Architzel presented the Meritori-ous Unit Commendation to NAWCAD CommanderRear Adm. Randy Mahr during a ceremony at NASPatuxent River on July 30, and said the award was forthe more than 9,300 NAWCAD team members stationedhere and at Lakehurst, N.J., from January 2010 to De-cember 2011.

Architzel read from the commendation, which notedthat NAWCAD consistently demonstrated "unparal-leled success in developing, fielding and supportingwarfighting systems that directly and significantly con-tributed to Fleet combat readiness and objectives."

The commendation praised NAWCAD for its diversetechnical capability in science, technology, research, de-velopment, testing and evaluation, and for having estab-lished "itself as the premier Center for development, de-livery and Fleet support of Navy and Marine Corps aircraftand aircraft systems, specialized communications equip-ment and support to the Special Operations community."

It also praised NAWCAD's "focus on streamliningacquisitions, targeting research and development op-portunities, improving processes and enhancing em-ployee morale and welfare [which] resulted in consid-erably reduced costs, accelerated delivery and overallvalue for the Warfighter."

The Meritorious Unit Commendation is awarded bysecretary of the Navy, the Chief of Naval Operations orthe Navy Command Master Chief to any Navy or Ma-rine Corps unit that has distinguished itself under com-

bat or non-combat conditions.The award may also be conferred upon other U.S.

Next generation naval air-to-air com-bat exercises have replaced the "TopGun"-style training of the '80s and '90s.Now, naval aviation instructors can ac-cess more accurate debriefing tools andthe technology is being offered to de-ployed squadrons worldwide.

The Navy is delivering theTactical Com-bat Training System, or TCTS, to the fleet,providing what naval aviation instructorswith Carrier Air Wing Five, or CVW-5, call a"God's-eye" view of an entire training evo-lution.

The TCTS combines the use of pods—devices loaded on the aircraft used torecord aircraft movement during air-to-air combat exercises—with transportableground systems that monitor and recordfull squadron missions. All the informa-tion gathered during the exercise iscopied to a debrief CD to evaluate mis-sion success and lessons learned, muchthe way a football team reviews its per-formance using footage of past games.

"The ability to accurately re-createtraining events in the debriefing room isone of the most important aspects of theStrike Fighter Advanced Readiness Pro-gram," said Lt. Kristen Hansen, of StrikeFighter Weapons School Pacific air opera-tions. "Debriefing is where the real learn-ing takes place."

The system will be used by forward-deployed squadrons around the globeduring the next exercise in 2014. Pilotsstationed in the continental United Statesalready have similar capabilities availableat Oceana, Va.; Lemoore, Miramar, and ElCentro, Calif.; Key West, Fla.; CherryPoint, N.C.; Beaufort, S.C.; Yuma, Ariz.;

and Fallon, Nev."The benefit of a system like TCTS is

that the entire squadron receives trainingin-theatre without the need to return tothe U.S. so they save dollars and a lot oftime," said Kevin Carstens, Tactical Train-ing Ranges lead in Guam for the NavalAviation Training Systems Program Office(PMA-205), which manages the TCTSprogram.

Carstens and the PMA-205 team coor-dinated their final exercise in spring 2012in Guam. This was the first time the TCTSteam utilized personnel from Pacific Mis-sile Range Facility, or PMRF, Hawaii. Con-tractors and range support from Naval AirStation Fallon, Nev., were on hand to trainthe staff on the installation of the trans-portable ground system.

This was also the first time radio com-munications were recorded during the ex-ercise.

"As theTCTS continues to develop, real-time communications and communica-tion playback will further increase ourtraining capabilities," Hansen said. "It al-lows for range-training observers to inter-ject safety concerns as well as provide back-up control."

Future exercises will be operated bythe fleet and coordinated by PMRF,Hawaii, Navy officials said.

"The goal over the last few years hasbeen to extend the TCTS to carrier airwings stationed abroad," said Capt. JohnFeeney, PMA-205 program manager."Our deployed aviators deserve the samehigh-level, air-to-air combat training thatthey would receive at home. The team atPMA-205 recognizes this need and is en-suring that our warfighters receive all thenecessary tools to keep their skills sharpboth at home and while deployed over-seas."

HUNGERContinued from 1

By Mathew B. TullyGuest contributor

Q. What happens if a superiorofficer asks me to take aurinalysis and I say no?

A. If an officer asks you to take a urinaly-sis, he or she may not have probable causeto make you take a drug test. Under Rule 315of the Military Rules of Evidence, probablecause amounts to a reasonable belief thatthe evidence sought, such as drug metabo-lites, is in the service member's body. Infor-mation provided to the officer in writing orverbally can help the officer arrive to thisreasonable belief.

Even if an officer has not been informedthat a service member has taken an illegalsubstance, such as marijuana or cocaine,the officer may suspect such usage due toobservations of the service member's be-havior. In these instances the officer may askthe service member to voluntarily submit toa urinalysis, referred to as a consent search.What happens from here can get legallydicey, depending on how the request is

made and how the service member re-sponds.

Service members can decline to take aconsent search. When they do, however,there is a good chance they will be requiredto submit to command-directed urinalysis.

If the service member voluntarily con-sents to the officer's request, then the uri-nalysis results can be used in criminal andadministrative proceedings. With a com-mand-directed urinalysis, the results canonly be used in administrative proceedings,meaning the service member can be ad-ministratively separated, but the resultscannot be used at court martial.

Office of the Chief of Naval OperationsInstruction, or OPNAVINST, 5350.4D statesthat command representatives should in-form the member of his or her right to de-cline to participate in a consent search. Solong as the representative asks nothingmore of service members, there is no re-quirement to inform them of their rightsagainst self-incrimination. The obtainmentof a written approval to a consent search isrecommended, but not required.

Ask the Lawyer:When is a urinalysis admissible?

The Automated Logistics Environment, orALE, system has moved into the second majorphase of development while maintaining costsavings.

During the second phase, the ALE team isenabling component capabilities includingground stations that allow data to be processedand viewed during post flight de-briefs in near-real time.

ALE is an improvement that helps the E-2Daircraft move toward operational readiness. ALEcapitalizes on the E-2D's smart-aircraft capabil-ities, allowing crews to streamline post-flightdata collection and entry. It allows crews to op-timize the use of embedded diagnostics andprognostics on the aircraft.

"We now have a system that allows the air-crew and maintainers to quickly identify issuesand see all of the supporting data throughoutthe maintenance process," said Dwayne Cole,Hawkeye Greyhound program office (PMA-231)ALE lead. "Ease of access to ALE data eliminatesthe need for paper maintenance publicationsand reduces aircraft down time."

The first phase of development, fielding andconnecting the system to the Navy MarineCorps Intranet, called NMCI, took 18 months.

Maintenance ground crews continue to seekey improvements as development progresses.Components of ALE, like Interactive ElectronicTechnical Manuals, or IETMs, are becoming anindustry standard for new acquisition programsbecause they streamline fleet maintenance andstandard data specifications and will signifi-cantly reduce sustainment costs.

"Many ground crews want IETMs," Colesaid. "They're becoming more reliant on theseinformation technologies to efficiently main-tain a weapon system."

In addition, ALE gives the fleet enhanced ca-

pabilities to troubleshoot, repair and maintainthe aircraft while enabling continuous cost andreadiness improvements using smart-aircraftdata now available to product supportproviders.

As crews are transitioning away from manu-al processes, the ALE requires a cultural shiftand training.

"With new software and processes, trainingis imperative to ensure a smooth transition tothe ALE," Cole said. "Shifting from paper pub-lications to an interactive world can be a chal-lenge for those who have been depending onlegacy manuals for years."

As the E-2D program progresses from pro-curement to sustainment, the focus is compat-ibility across multiple platforms. The ALE sys-tem is an Enterprise common solution, and allmajor software components are government-owned solutions that can be leveraged acrossseveral programs.

"We're committed to non-proprietary, open,reusable solutions," Cole said.

ALE compatibility was demonstratedthrough collaboration with the V-22 Ospreyprogram.

"E-2D worked very closely with the V-22 pro-gram office to reuse every ALE software compo-nent that met E-2D ALE functional require-ments," said Tim Petrow, E-2D Product SupportTeam Lead.

According to Petrow, direct re-use opportu-nities occur when aircraft technologies are atleast 60 percent common, and the only cost ofthe software update was the integration.

"So in an aircraft or system with similar ALEsupport requirements—such as those commonbetween V-22 and E-2D—common ALE compo-nents can be reused with no development orstartup costs to meet program requirements,"Petrow said.

E-2D Product Support Team Co-Lead Lt.Cmdr. Juan Varela said, "From a fleet stand-point, the whole ALE system offers up the capa-bility to conduct more effective maintenance."

Even before they are followed byactions, words can often minister to usin incomparable ways:

• I love you.• I agree with you on this matter.• I'm on your side here.• I apologize.• You know, I really like you.• Thank you for the work you do.• I'm right here when you need me.

The list could go on. Words havepower, and while they can certainlybring pain, they can also bring comfortand healing. I am of the Christian faith,and from that presupposition, I canonly imagine how the blind man inMark 10:51 felt when Jesus respondedto his cries, saying, "What do you wantme to do for you?"

The passage tells the story of Barti-maeus, forced into beggary because ofhis sightless condition. Sitting in thedust on the side of the road, hisprospects were dim. When he heardthat Jesus was coming, he knew thiswas his only hope, for this man couldheal the blind.

Aiming toward the sound of thecrowd, he shouted to Jesus, begginghim to show mercy. Jesus asked himthe one question whose answer wascompletely obvious, "What do youwant me to do for you?"

Plainly and humbly, the son ofTimaeussaid,"Rabbi,Iwanttosee."Howsimply we can state our need when weare in the presence of the Son of David.

Jesus told him then that his faith

had healed him and he could see. Justlike that, Bartimaeus could see.

Now, I am not ready to questionthat man's faith. Which one of us can?Who knows how many times heprayed to God and asked for sight be-fore he was healed? What I do know isthat when he encountered Jesus, whois the living Word, and he heard himoffer to him the desire of his heart, hisfaith was emboldened.

The words Jesus spoke said somuch more than the syllables ex-pressed.They said, "I care," and "I wantto help," and "I can help; just ask me."

Proverbs 25:11 aptly compares "fit-ly spoken" words with a beautifullyframed painting of golden apples, theidea being that of a lovely piece thatwould grace any home. We, as follow-ers and imitators of Jesus, have thewonderful honor of administeringwith grace words that can comfort, of-fer healing and bring beauty. May weseize the opportunity to carry outGod's will here on earth as it is done inheaven and go around behaving—andspeaking—as Jesus did.

What do you and I have to say to-day?

Something to Say

An NC-130H Hercules aircraft used as atest bed for the E-2D program departed NASPatuxent River this spring to serve the U.S.Coast Guard as a fleet aircraft.

The aircraft provided development andair-vehicle testing of an E-2D-type missionsuite long before the E-2D actually flew.

Test and Evaluation Squadron (VX) 20 hasbeen home to the aircraft for more than 20years. There it underwent 2,000 hours ofground testing while serving as an asset to theentire E-2 fleet.

"The NC-130 enabled us to stay on sched-ule for the development and demonstrationof the E-2D," said Cmdr. Bill Selk, E-2D gov-ernment flight test director. "It allowed mis-sion-systems testing before radar testing, sothe early pre-production radar helped us do alot before we began E-2D flight testing." VX-20 flight crew flew the NC-130 aircraft to themaintenance facility in Elizabeth City, N.C.,where the airframe will be outfitted withCoast Guard technologies.

The Coast Guard first used the aircraft in

its Maritime Surveillance program. It arrivedhere in 1990 and was first used to test the APS-120 radar. After a loss in U.S. Customs andBorder Patrol funding in late 1991, the aircraftwas sent to the U.S. Air Force as a test bed forsurveillance technology.

The aircraft, also known as 157, flew withthe Air Force while the E-2D completed labo-ratory radar testing until 1998. Aircraft 157was loaned to the Navy for two years, but in2002, the Navy took custody of the aircraftwith prime and subcontract industry partnersNorthrop Grumman, Lockheed Martin andRandtron.

The joint team re-engineered the test bedusing ruggedized boxes and E-2C Hawkeye2000 parts, creating an E-2D-type missionsuite, allowing the team to troubleshoot outfront. Time and cost savings were a benefit ofbeing able to predict what the E-2D was goingto be capable of ahead of the aircraft beingbuilt.

The team accomplished between 18 and24 months' worth of work in nine months, in-cluding 200 hours of night-flight testing and2,000 ground-test hours.

"Something that people don't realize isthat in the first six to eight years, 95 percent ofour missions were at night," said Brad Mc-Murtrie, NC-130 civilian support. "We were

looking for open airspace and we wantedLearjet availability."

Airspace and Learjet readiness are keyconsiderations when testing a new radar sys-tem. During the development of a radar andtracker, controlled targets are needed torecord truth data. This data is used as a cross-reference to see how accurate the radar is. ALearjet can fly from three to four hours to helpprovide this data, making the commercial jeta cost-effective option for the program.

"The radar itself was unique and verypowerful," said Randy Snyder, former NC-130H program manager. "It was a lot easier tooperate at night because we wanted to mini-mize air traffic and be able to hone in on tar-gets rather than pick up on false operationswith other platforms."

The aircraft will replace a Coast Guard NC-130 with an airframe that has reached its fa-tigue life. It will take approximately threemonths to install the Coast Guard's newavionics suite before the aircraft will be used,mainly for maintenance testing. Despite mul-tiple modifications, the 157 is a young aircraft,making it an in-demand asset to a number ofpotential agencies.

"The Coast Guard originally bought theairframe in the first place," McMurtrie said."We felt like we were returning it to the

rightful owner."Turning the airframe over to the Coast

Guard saves $2 million in costs, which wouldhave accrued had the team retired the NC-130to the bone yard at Davis Monthan Air ForceBase, Ariz.

The Coast Guard is not the only group thatwill benefit from the aircraft. E-2D-specifictechnologies removed from the airframe willbe reused. The rotodome, rotary wing andradar have been turned over to industry part-ners, who will reintegrate them into labs andtest them for life-cycle fatigue and perform-ance.

"We didn't think anyone would want theparts or the aircraft because it had been re-purposed so many times," Snyder said. "Butin today's economic environment, we had alot of interest."

The frugal repurposing of the NC-130 isjust one part of the unique story of the aircraft.

"Across NAVAIR, you see some very inter-esting ways of navigating risk reduction," Selksaid. "With the E-2C backend and E-2D radarin the NC-130, the whole purpose was to doE-2D testing ahead of time. The aircraft reallyembodies what NAVAIR is all about."

Drema Ballengee-Grunst contributed tothis story.

By Command Master ChiefWilliam "Aussie" Lloyd-OwenNAS Patuxent RiverCommand Master Chief

"Patuxent River, Maryland?Where the heck is Maryland?"

I can remember these wordsgoing through my mind as if itwere yesterday. I had just finishedmy fourth week of class "A" schoolat VF-124 on NAS Miramar, Calif.,and had received my first set ofpermanent change-of-station or-ders to Strike Aircraft Test Direc-torate (nowVX-23), located at NASPatuxent River.

I had been back in the UnitedStates for less than six months afterhaving spent the previous 15 yearsgrowing up in Australia. "Google it"not being part of our vernacular in1985, I was still unsure exactly where

I was going when I boardedthe plane at LAX, boundfor Baltimore, and thenultimately NAS Patux-ent River. I was notalone on this trip, as Iwas traveling with afellow Sailor and friendI had met in bootcamp and with whom Ihad gone through Aschool. He had also re-ceived orders to NAS Pax. ASeattle native, he too had noidea where we were headed.

Being two young, adventurousSailors, we chose to spend a fewdays in Baltimore prior to coming tothe base, as neither of us had everbeen to the East Coast before. Forthe sake of time and of our youngerreaders, I will not get into our stay inBaltimore, but you can imagine oursurprise when we were finally ready

to head to the base and noone we spoke to had any

idea of where NAS PaxRiver was.

Eventually, wefound a cab driver whonot only knew wherethe base was but waswilling to take us there.We made the tripdown Route 2 to Route

4, which in 1985 was notthe four- lane highway we

have today. By the 90-minutemark, once again I was wonderingjust where the heck Pax River was;not to mention the fare meter wasquickly climbing to the amount ofmy most recent pay check!

I distinctly remember catchinga glimpse of the air field tower andsome of the aircraft hangers as Icrossed the Gov. Thomas JohnsonBridge for the first time. After mak-

ing the left at the now-closedWest-ern Steer restaurant onto Route235, we traveled for another four orfive miles through the woods—235was not the bustling thoroughfareit is today—and were finallydropped off at the Pass and ID Of-fice at what was the main gate andis now Gate 2. Back then, the Passand ID office was on the left as youapproach the gate from Great MillsRoad. That building is gone now.

So began my career in the U.S.Navy all those years ago. I mustadmit that while I enjoyed my firstfour years here at Pax, when mynew wife and I left in 1989, we hadno intention of ever coming back.

But like the base itself, I grew,becoming more mature and for-ward-thinking. So when it cametime to choose what could verywell be my last set of orders, I hada tough decision. After 27 years of

serving around the world, to in-clude the birthplace of Naval Avia-tion, NAS North Island, and on thecenterpieces of Naval Aviation-anda floating testament to the eco-nomic and military might of theUnited States-our Aircraft Carriers(CVN's), I could think of no bettercapstone to my career then toserve where the future of NavalAviation is made real and where itall started for me: Naval Air StationPatuxent River.

Shari and I are proud to call PaxRiver and Lexington Park myhome. We look forward to becom-ing an integral part of the commu-nity as I endeavor to build on thelegacy of my predecessors. To ourSailors, civilians and retires alike, Imean it when I say my door is al-ways open, come on in, the coffeeis always hot — I am here to serveyou. AVAG'DAY!

The Maryland summerheat and humidity combina-tion has everyone sweating.Throughout the summer, theheat index was often above100 degrees, bringing the risksof heat stroke, exhaustion andcramps to anyone exercisingoutside. Exercising in thesummer heat is a dangerous

thing to do if you do not takethe proper precautions.

HydrateDrink water before, during

and after your workout."Keeping hydrated is one of

the most important parts ofworking out in the heat," saidKerryDavis,theMorale,Welfare,and Recreation fitness coordi-nator for NAS Patuxent River.

Caroline Cooper, a veteranof a number of marathons

and endurance races, agrees."It's always important for

people to drink water," Coop-er said. "People will thinkabout water but not alwaysabout salt. If you are going tobe out in the heat and sweat-ing, that's something thatneeds to be replenished, too."

es is their voluntariness. How-ever, an officer can requestservice members to submit tourinalysis in a way that wouldlead them to believe they haveno choice but to comply. Asthe U.S. Court of Appeals forthe Armed Forces, or CAAF,noted in the 1996 case of U.S.v. Radvansky, threats of acommand-directed searchcan make the evidence of aconsent search inadmissibleat court-martial, so long asthe requesting party fails toinform the service member ofthe consequences of a com-mand-directed search.

However, CAAF said themere mention of a com-mand-directed search doesnot automatically turn con-sent to a urinalysis "mere ac-quiescence to authority andnot truly voluntary." For ex-ample, the Radvansky case in-volved an Air Force airmanwho was asked to submit to aurinalysis after his supervisor

observed the airman had lostweight and was very stressed.After a first sergeant traineeasked the airman to submit toa urinalysis, the airman askedwhat would happen if he de-clined and was told a com-mand-directed urinalysismight be pursued. Althoughthe airman signed the urinal-ysis consent form, he claimedhe believed he had no choicebut to take the test. However,the CAAF did not see the air-man's submission as involun-tary and therefore didn't sup-press the urinalysis evidence.

Service members con-cerned about a urinalysisshould immediately consultwith a military law attorney.Depending on the circum-stances, a lawyer could showthat the service member'sconsent was not voluntary.

By George E. RevoirNAS Patuxent RiverSafety Department

The safety department wants you to keepyour jogging experience healthy and pleasant,and following these tips can help you preventa mishap.

1. Let someone know where you're joggingand your expected return time. If you're takingyour car, tell them your car's location. Pre-es-tablish a set, "Honey, I'm OK," call time.

2. Carry a cell phone at all times, even if jog-ging with someone else.

3. Have a number pre-programmed in thephone labeled "ICE"— In Case of Emer-gency—so if you get ill or pass out and some-one finds you, they will have the number youwould want them to contact available imme-diately.

4. Don't carry valuables, lock them in car orleave them at home. Keep your license, creditcards and cash secured. Take a couple of dol-lars if you need a cold drink somewhere.

5. Stay alert. Keep your attention on yoursurroundings.Remember, it'sagainstNavyreg-ulations to wear headphones or ear buds whilewalking or jogging along station roadways.

6. Avoid being "too" alone.Walk or jog witha partner or your dog. If you go out to exercisealone, do so in places where others will bearound and stick close to them; stay away fromdeserted stretches of road, beach or pathways.

7. Think about what you're wearing.Clothes should be breathable fabrics that allowsweat to evaporate, and they should be reflec-tive or high-visibility during low-light periodssuch as sundown or before sunrise.

Motorists are required to "share the road"with joggers and cyclists and must stay alert asthe number of joggers and cyclists continue toincrease along the roadways.

Re-energizeRe-energize by working out with others."Groups of people really help," said Alli-

son Palmer, endurance athlete and two-timefemale winner of the Warrior Dash, a 5k ad-venture race interlaced with a series of obsta-cles. "It gets you motivated to go out whenmaybe you don't want to."

Drill Hall offers group runs at 11:30 a.m.,Tuesdays and Thursdays, and there are anumber of impromptu groups that meetthroughout the week to run in the evenings.

Palmer and Cooper, who train throughoutthe year, became friends when they passedeach other during a run. Ever since then, theyhave been welcoming more people into theirgroup. They said meeting with people keepsyou accountable no matter whether it's a hotAugust evening or a rainy October afternoon.

StayStaycool.Considerthetimeyou'reworking

out. Avoid workouts that span the hottest partofthedayortrytosticktotheshade,Davissug-gests. Early mornings or late evenings are gen-erally the cooler parts of the day.

If you decide to run at night, be familiarwith the course and wear reflective materialsfor higher visibility. Headlamps and reflectiveshoe stickers help others see a runner whenit is dark. Cooper suggests cooling down byusing strategic placement of ice during runs,particularly in races.

Drill Hall has indoor exercise alternativessuch as treadmills, elliptical machines andEnergy Zone classes in an air-conditioned cli-mate. A schedule is available both on site andonline at http://cnic.navy.mil/Patuxent, clickon Fleet and Family Readiness, then on Fit-ness and Sports.

ListenListentoyourbody.Ifconditionsaredanger-

ous, consider a lighter workout, suggests Davis.Paying attention to your body is very im-

portant, particularly in the high temperatureswhen heat cramps, exhaustion and strokecan occur more easily.

Amanda Smith, who is also a runner, said,"If you feel lightheaded or dizzy stop exercis-ing and find shade or an air-conditionedbuilding to cool off in."

Different colored flags fly outside of DrillHall and the Naval Health Clinic, at the cornerof Buse and Cedar Point roads, to let basemembersknowtheheatwarningsthroughoutthe day. Flag conditions can also be found onthe NAS Patuxent River Facebook page,www.facebook.com/NASPaxRiver, and theClinic's website, www.med.navy.mil/sites/paxriver. Flag colors are green, yellow, red and

black,withtheseverityofthewarningincreas-ing in that order.

A green flag indicates that non-acclimat-ed personnel should exercise caution duringhard workouts. A yellow flag suggests stren-uous activities be put on hold for all person-nel with less than three weeks of training inhot weather. A red flag warns people with lessthan 12 weeks of training to curtail all stren-uous, outdoor exercise. A black flag suspendsall physical training and exercise for all per-sonnel, excluding operational commitments.

RechargeRecharge with the right kind of nutrition.

In order to have a successful workout, havingenough and the right kind of nutrition is im-portant, Davis says. While people have theirown personal preferences for pre- and post-workout foods, it is important to make sureyour body is getting the right vitamins, pro-teins and minerals.

Jillann Hamilton, MWR assistant fitnesscoordinator, recharges with some chocolatemilk, while Davis prefers peanut butter toast.Cooper follows her workouts with an energybar and potato chips for salt.

"It's really about personal preference,"Palmer said. "You have to experiment withwhat you're eating and the timing, as well."
